A   Thing  of  Beauty  is a  Joy  For Ever:

"A Thing of Beauty" is a poem by the English poet and Physician Dr. John Keats. 

It was written in 1818 when he was 22 years old and first published in 1820 as part of "Endymion". 

The poem tells the story of the love between the mortal Endymion and the moon goddess Selene.

In the poem, Dr. John Keats reflects on the idea that beauty is a constant source of joy and inspiration in life. 

He suggests that beauty has the power to elevate our spirits and provide us with a sense of peace & contentment, even in difficult times.

The context of the poem is therefore the Romantic period, which was a time of heightened emotion and imagination. 

The Romantics celebrated nature, individualism, and the power of the imagination, and Keats was one of the key figures of the movement. 

Dr. Keats' poetry often explored themes of beauty, love, and the power of the natural world to inspire and uplift the human spirit.

========================================================================

A  thing of beauty is a joy for ever:

Its loveliness increases; 

it will never Pass into nothingness; 

but still will keep A bower quiet for us, 

and 

a sleep Full of sweet dreams, 

and health, 

and quiet breathing.

Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing

A flowery band to bind us to the earth,

Spite of despondence, 

of the inhuman dearth of noble natures, 

of the gloomy days,

Of all the unhealthy and o'er-darkened ways

Made for our searching: yes, in spite of all,

Some shape of beauty moves away the pall From our dark spirits. 

Such the sun, the moon, Trees old and young, 

sprouting a shady boon For simple sheep; and 

such are daffodils

With the green world they live in; and clear rills

That for themselves a cooling covert make

'Gainst the hot season; the mid-forest brake,

Rich with a sprinkling of fair musk-rose blooms:

And such too is the grandeur of the dooms

We have imagined for the mighty dead;

All lovely tales that we have heard or read:

An endless fountain of immortal drink,

Pouring unto us from the heaven's brink.

Nor do we merely feel these essences

For one short hour; no, even as the trees

That whisper round a temple become soon

Dear as the temple's self, so does the moon,

The passion poesy, glories infinite,

Haunt us till they become a cheering light

Unto our souls, and bound to us so fast,

That, whether there be shine, or gloom o'ercast,

They always must be with us, or we die.

Therefore, 'tis with full happiness that I

Will trace the story of Endymion.

The very music of the name has gone

Into my being, and each pleasant scene

Is growing fresh before me as the green

Of our own valleys: 

so I will begin

Now while I cannot hear the city's din;

Now while the early budders are just new,

And run in mazes of the youngest hue

About old forests; while the willow trails

Its delicate amber; and the dairy pails

Bring home increase of milk. 

And, as the year

Grows lush in juicy stalks, I'll smoothly steer

My little boat, for many quiet hours,

With streams that deepen freshly into bowers.

Many and many a verse I hope to write,

Before the daisies, vermeil rimm'd and white,

Hide in deep herbage; and ere yet the bees

Hum about globes of clover and sweet peas,

I must be near the middle of my story.

O may no wintry season, bare and hoary,

See it half finished: but let Autumn bold,

With universal tinge of sober gold,

Be all about me when I make an end.

Dr. John Keats, Surgeon & Apothecary (1795 - 1821 AD)

John Keats was born in 1795 in London, England, and he led a relatively short but eventful life. Keats was the eldest of five children and his parents both died when he was young, leaving him to be raised by his grandmother. Keats trained as a surgeon and apothecary, but he pursued his passion for poetry throughout his life. He began writing poetry in his early teens, and his first published poem appeared in 1816.

John Keats began his medical training in 1810, at the age of 15, when he was apprenticed to a surgeon named Thomas Hammond. Keats's medical training involved a combination of practical experience and academic study, and he spent long hours studying anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology. As an apprentice, Keats assisted Hammond with surgical procedures and attended lectures at the London hospitals. After completing his apprenticeship, Keats enrolled in medical school at Guy's Hospital in London, where he continued his studies in medicine.

John Keats was a diligent student and did well in his medical studies, but he found the work physically and emotionally demanding. He struggled with the gruesome nature of some of the surgical procedures he witnessed, and his sensitive nature made it difficult for him to cope with the suffering he saw around him. Despite these challenges, Keats completed his medical training and became a qualified surgeon and apothecary. However, Dr. Keats ultimately decided to pursue his passion for poetry and literature, and he abandoned his medical career to devote himself fully to his art.

Dr. John Keats abandoned his medical career because he had developed a deep passion for poetry and literature. While he had initially studied medicine and trained as a surgeon and apothecary, he had always been drawn to writing and had begun writing poetry at a young age. Keats found that his medical studies and career left him little time to pursue his literary interests, and he increasingly felt that poetry was his true calling. Additionally, he struggled with health problems throughout his life, and the physical demands of his medical work may have been too taxing on his already fragile health.

In the end, Dr. Keats chose to follow his passion for poetry and literature, and his decision to abandon his medical career allowed him to fully devote himself to his art. Despite the financial and personal difficulties he faced as a result of this decision, Keats went on to become one of the most celebrated poets of the Romantic era. Keats had a tumultuous personal life, with a number of romantic entanglements, including a failed engagement to Fanny Brawne. He also suffered from financial difficulties throughout his life, which were compounded by his decision to abandon his medical career in favor of poetry.

Dr. John Keats had a number of romantic entanglements throughout his life, although he is perhaps best known for his relationship with Fanny Brawne. Keats met Brawne in 1818, and the two quickly fell in love. However, their relationship was marked by financial difficulties and misunderstandings, and Keats's declining health further strained their bond. 

The couple became engaged in 1819, but Keats's worsening tuberculosis made it increasingly difficult for them to spend time together, and they eventually parted ways.

Prior to his relationship with Brawne, Dr. Keats had been involved with a number of other women, including his childhood friend, Isabella Jones, and the actress Sarah Siddons's daughter, Maria. Keats's romantic experiences inspired much of his poetry, and his love letters to Brawne in particular are considered some of the most beautiful and poignant examples of romantic correspondence in English literature. In addition to his romantic relationships, Keats had close friendships with a number of other writers and artists, including Percy Bysshe Shelley and Leigh Hunt. Despite the challenges and heartbreak he experienced in his personal life, Keats's relationships were an important source of inspiration for his work, and they continue to fascinate and move readers to this day.

Despite these challenges, Keats went on to become one of the most important poets of the Romantic era. He produced some of his most famous works, including "Ode to a Nightingale" and "To Autumn," in the last few years of his life. 

It is believed that Dr. John Keats contracted tuberculosis, also known as consumption, from his brother Tom, who was also suffering from the disease. Dr. Keats cared for Tom as he grew increasingly ill, and it is thought that he may have contracted the disease from his brother while caring for him. Tuberculosis was a highly contagious disease that was widespread in the 19th century, and it was often fatal. Dr. John Keats had been struggling with his health for several years prior to his diagnosis, and tuberculosis was a common cause of death at the time. Unfortunately, there were few effective treatments for tuberculosis during Keats's lifetime, and he died of tuberculosis in Rome, Italy, in 1821 at the age of 25, just a few years after being diagnosed with the disease. 

His untimely death was a great loss to the literary world, and his legacy as one of the greatest poets of the Romantic era has endured to this day.
